Adrian Lee: Witness – what a Cold War classic teaches us about totalitarianism and radicalisation

Whittaker Chambers’ memoir exposed a major Communist plot and toppled New Deal royalty. It remains relevant today.

By Adrian Lee | 27 May 2022 at 3:00 pm

Sarah Ingham: Why does Britain discourage genital mutilation in Africa but endorse it via the NHS here?

It would be curious if transgenderism turned out to be one aspect of life that is immune from social contagion.

By Dr Sarah Ingham | 27 May 2022 at 6:30 am

Garvan Walshe: Elections produce a faint glimpse of hope after Lebanon’s lost decade

It at least gives hope that, after the chaos and corruption of the last decade, some limited change and political accountability might at last be possible.

By Garvan Walshe | 26 May 2022 at 6:30 am

Emily Carver: Davos deserves to collapse under the weight of its own contradictions

The annual love-in of the global elite is a pointless charade that does little to highlight the power of markets to help the poorest.

By Emily Carver | 25 May 2022 at 6:30 am

Daniel Hannan: The Northern Ireland Protocol is designed only to cause Britain maximum pain

The Foreign Secretary’s proposals for reforming the Protocol are extraordinary in their modesty. But the EU will never relinquish its advantage.

By Daniel Hannan | 25 May 2022 at 6:20 am

David Willetts: The case for a windfall tax depends on what we do with the money

The best use for the proceeds of a windfall energy tax would be to start tackling the underlying problem which the energy crisis has revealed.

By David Willetts | 24 May 2022 at 6:30 am

Peter Franklin: Don’t turn the Conservative Party into a cargo cult

If the party really wants to honour its past, then it must face up to problems of the present.

By Peter Franklin | 23 May 2022 at 10:30 am

David Gauke: It’s right that the civil service become more efficient, but I doubt that these plans to reform it will work

The Government’s approach is unlikely to bring out the best from those upon whom it depends to get things done.

By David Gauke | 23 May 2022 at 6:30 am

Georgia L Gilholy: It’s time the Conservatives filled the God-shaped hole in British classrooms

We must abandon the absurd, reductive notion that only STEM subjects are useful to young people in the modern world.

By Georgia L. Gilholy | 20 May 2022 at 6:30 am

Henry Hill: Sturgeon abandons her flagship schools pledge as she touts separation in the US

Also: dissent in the ranks! Northern Irish activists attack neglect by CCHQ amidst rumours Welsh Tories may seek split.

By Henry Hill | 19 May 2022 at 12:30 pm

Ryan Bourne: Beware these new Keynesians who claim more spending is always the answer – whatever the state of the economy

As the man himself famously did not say: “When the facts change, I find new reasons to advocate for stimulus packages.”

By Ryan Bourne | 18 May 2022 at 6:30 am

Robert Halfon: Our chaotic prison education system is crying out for an overhaul

Learning is vital to rehabilitation; my committee’s new report contains a clear programme for long-overdue reform.

By Robert Halfon | 18 May 2022 at 6:30 am

Andy Street: How thinking green, and levelling up, can insulate against future cost-of-living shocks

From new housebuilding techniques to green manufacturing, the West Midlands is leading the way towards greater security.

By Andy Street | 17 May 2022 at 12:00 pm

Gerard Lyons: Ministers have an opportunity to cut taxes, drive supply side reform – and help reduce the cost of living

The shock-absorber is a looser fiscal policy. Although the budget deficit is higher than one would like, the good news is that it is falling sharply.

By Dr Gerard Lyons | 17 May 2022 at 6:20 am

John Redwood: The EU is failing to implement parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol and has damaged the Belfast Agreement

This must be explained to US Democrats who do not understand the unionist position or the legal background.

By Sir John Redwood MP | 16 May 2022 at 11:00 am
